cornish engine house animation

A stop-motion/ cartoon animation I made for a school art project of a Cornish pumping engine house (for a mine) being built, used, abandoned and reused as a 'Cornish culture centre' and how the locals take to this (obviously badly!) This is designed to raise the question 'Are mines restored for there historical value or simply for there economical benefit?' I entered it into a display thing at the eden project: luckily they didnt take it personally! oh, except getting my name wrong! (kernow bys vyken!) oh and the musics a coupel of cornish tunes i played on the accordion and an electric ukulele i made!

[DRJanimations]

it took one aftenoon (from about 2 till 6) to film and one school day to edit (including sound) i was using an unfamilier program so that deffinitly slowed me down a bit!
